Popularity Election Put Off Till Friday By Jayhawker Manager
Graft Will Be Eliminated In Voting Plan. Says Hershey
"Because of conflicting interest in class and Jayhawker elections, the Popularity Election which was scheduled for Tuesday, January 21, has been postponed until Friday, January 24, and the sale of Jayhawkers will take place on Monday night," said Lynn Hershey, business manager of the 1919 Jayhawker today.
Hershey went on to say that a number of the students on the Hill misunderstood the principles of the election. "The only way graft can be eliminated is to hold just such an election as we are holding Friday. There will be no stuffing of the ballot box, only those can vote who can produce their receipts, and the whole class will vote for them in the class elections held last week. Electionering for the candidates will be permitted near the polls, and in this way, the voters will be able to judge each of the candidates.
"All ballots for the favorite candidates will be cast on Friday only, and the polls will be kept open from 9 until 4 o'clock. This will give every one who has bought a Jacqueline an offer to vote for his popular girl, and determine who the eight popular women, in the University of Kansas are."
The 1919 Jayhawker is being sold in the various buildings on the campus, and Thursday, January 23, is the latest date for the final sale of the Jayhawker. No more annuals will be sold after that date," said Mr. Hershey in a final statement.

Bennett led the scoring with seven field goals and a half-dozen free tosses, while Matthews and Miller each contributed five goals. The Ames team was off form, and eight men were used in the effort to stop Coach Hamilton's men. Shepard played a consistent game for the Argies. The score:

Military Discipline Is Declared Incompatible With College Training
Dean Kelly Draws Lessons from Experience With Student Army Corps
Division of Authority Fatal
Colleges Learn They Can Make Rapid Changes If Necessary
College education is essential for leadership .
Military discipline is incompatible with the highest type of college education.
Colleges must learn to be more easily adaptable to present demands. These are some of the conclusions reached by F. J. Kelly, dean of the School of Law, and dean of the University of Kansas, in an address at Tupelo Saturday afternoon before the college section of the Council of Administration at its first annual sessions. Dean Kelly, who was at the head of the educational work of the Students' Army Training Corps at the University, spoke largely from his own experience in treating the topic, "Lessons from the S. A. T. C.". Lessons particular attention to the fact that influenza quaranties and the signing of the armistice prevented a real test of the student army and confined his discussion to the underlying principles and how they were worked out under
TRIBUTE PAID TO COLLEGES
"Pe-hap the handsomest tribute ever paid to college education," said Dean Kelly, "was the plan of the government to pay the expenses of men in American colleges rather than that education should cease. In saying this, however, the government also should invest more in general, but college education pursued with a definite end in view, is worth paying for."
"The Government's assumption, on the other hand, that young men may acquire the useful features of a college education while under military discipline strikes at our most deepest educational convictions. Military discipline presupposes the cultivation of a disposition to follow more or less blindly the commands of leaders. It has a tendency to discourage initiative, independence and aggressiveness. The attitude of mind developed under military discipline is perhaps best expressed by the men themselves in the three little words, "passing the buck."
"Now all these tendencies are directly contrary to the college ideal of developing free-spirited leaders who assume responsibility easily, and execute their own, not others' plans.
COLLEGES LEARN TO ACT
It was not men with information only, but重要时 important that was, but with independence of spirit and high leadership who were eagerly sought to take positions of great responsibility in the conduct of the war. It seems to me the War Department was mistaken in its fundamental conception of the relation between discipline and college training, and I believe that one of the greatest lessons we may draw from our experiences is that the college people should work out a definition of the end in view in college training in clear enough language for anybody to understand." Dean Kelly cited the speed with which the plans of the college were changed, from the semester plan to the four-quarter plan, in order to meet the needs of the War Department, and declared the colleges have changed, incurring the danger of falling behind instead of being leaders in their state. He brought out also the difficulties arising from divided authority under the S. A. T. C. plan. "There is no reason why experts in military training should not be engaged by the University of college, the same as experts in chemistry, or history, or engineering. These experts in military training should work directly under the authority of the college and should not derive their sow from any source outside the college like the War Department. This is one lesson unquestionably taught by the S. A. T. C. A divided leadership management of those work efforts."

Old and young alike were attracted by the headliners of Hitchy-Koo at the Shubert last week. Why even one of our most eminent economics profs went up to see it and actually played ball with the leading lady. He added, "There are so many that another follow beat him to taking her to dinner after the show."
THE FLU IS NOT ALL BAD
Can you imagine any thing worse than having two dates for the same night? Of course, that is a woman's trick, but it actually happened to on of the lady-fussers at the University just last night. He arrived at one o his dates house and had not been there more than a half an hour until he re membered that he had another date and was going to party. He immediately became dreadfully ill, faked the flu, and left — to keep the other date.
Prof. Arthur MacMurray went to the phone the other day and said "1243 please."

Lawrence G.A.R Post Demands Resignatian Of Prof. F.H. Hodder
Civil War Veterans Send Resolution to Board of Administration
Resent Attack on Roosevelt
Hodder's Statement of "Roosevelt is a Typical Prussian," Causes Trouble
The Lawrence post of the G.A.R. in a meeting Saturday afternoon adopted a resolution petitionting the State Board of Administration to demand the resignation of Prof. F. H. Hodder because of a statement he made in a speech before the Women's Forum November 21.
The statement as quoted in the resolution is: "Germany is not the only country which has Prussians. In the United States, Theodore Roosevelt is a typical Prussian and a militarist in every sense of the word."
A person expressing such sentiments, the resolution says, is unfitted to teach in the University.
Professor Hodder, when shown a copy of the resolution today, would say nothing about it or about his attitude toward it.
The resolution follows:
"Whereas on November 21, 4018, man address before the Women's Forum of the University of Kansas, Professor F. H. Hodder of the department of history, made the following statement: 'Germany is not the only country which has Prusians. In the United States, Theodore Roosevelt is a typical Prussian and a militarist in every sense of the word.'
"Therefore, Be it Resolved by Washington Post No. 12, G.A.R., that we believe that a teacher of history in the State University of Kansas capable of expressing the above sentiments, is unfitted to teach the youth in our university, and we petition the Board of Administration of educational institutions to demand the resignation of Professor Holder.
"And be it further resolved that a copy of these resolutions be sent to Governor Henry J. Allen and to the State Board of Administration of educational institutions."
Dr. R. C. Hughes Talks On Religion of Future
Christianity Overcomes Docrines of Nietsche by Force of Arms'
"The state universities, representing as they do, the best elements of the state, and representing, too, all sections of the state, must be the centers from which religion of the future takes its life," said Dr. R. C. Hughes, field secretary of the Presbyterian Board of Education, in an address Monday afternoon in Fraser chapel.
"The religion of the future must be a unified religion," he said. "The various church organizations must together. I do not mean there should be churches, but there should be unity of purpose and a unity of work.
"Wars, in the past, have been followed by periods of materialism. After the strain of conflict, there is a tendency to relax religious practice. To meet this condition, and to do all possible to counteract it, working especially through the state universities, is the purpose of our committee. It is not our purpose to advance the bishopian church alone, but to put the church into a position to do its part in the movement. Just last week there was a meeting in Chicago, attended by representatives of eighteen denominations, for the purpose of formulating plans for this advance movement.
"We are in a position to attempt this task, for Christianity has just met its greatest assault and has conquered so far as force of arms can conquer. The teachings of Nietsche that the many must suffer that a few geniuses may be developed is the essence of German culture, and German culture is the exact contrary of the teachings of Christ."
Track prospects at the University of Illinois took a jump yesterday with the return of Charley Carroll, star spinner and Captain of the track team. Carroll has just received his discharge from the army.
